Trouble removing swingarm on 70 Rupp Roadster

[gammatg]

Hello, I'm taking apart my 70 Roadster for blasting and paint and I am having trouble removing the bolt that hold the swingarm to the frame. The long nut that holds the chain guard is off, but I can't remove the bolt. Is it threaded? Or could it just be bent inside from years if abuse and is being stubborn? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks! Eric

not threaded,probably just rusted to the sleeve inside the bushing

It's most likely rusted so badly that it got stuck in the bushing. Pb blaster and a hammer

Success! P.B. Blaster and a B.F.H.
